This error can occur for several different reasons and can sometimes be after a windows update.

• BIOS is not ACPI compatable
• Memory configuration. This error can occur because of the memory arrangement you have. Usually if you go above 2GB.
• Faulty RAM

Try these solutions in order.

1. Try a different RAM configuration - If this turns out to be the solution more than likely there is windows updates waiting that will fix this issue so run all updates and you should be able to use the extended memroy configuration.
2. Check RAM
3. Update BIOS to an ACPI compatable version

In all case run windows update and download all updates.

I have gotten some good questions about my previous posting, The Benefits of Gzip. Some people have asked about the difference between gzip and deflate, which comes pre-installed on the newer versions of Apache Web Server.

The primary difference between the two, is as I mentioned, deflate comes pre-installed. That doesn’t mean that it’s already deployed. You will usually have to go in and manually deploy the component, but this is much easier than installing gzip.

The second difference is the amount of compression. Gzip will compress 4 – 6 % more than deflate. This means the page will load a little faster with Gzip than deflate.

So why use deflate? The third difference is the server power required to do the compression. Keep in mind that the compression is not being handled when you upload the code to your site, it’s happening when a visitor with Gzip in their browser hits your site. So each time, your Web server has to package up these files to send over. This is where deflate shines. Deflate requires a lot less energy to compress the files. Which means that on high traffic servers, deflate will load faster than Gzip. Confused?

Simply put, if you have a site that gets less than 1,000 unique visitors per day, and you really want the fastest page time available, go ahead and install mod_gzip. This will be extra work, but may be worth it for you. If your site gets over 1,000 unique visitors, still with mod_deflate. Your pages will load faster.

Use this code to test if  mod_rewrite installed on your server

1. Create a rewrite.php file
2. Paste this code into it

   <h2>How To Test mod_rewrite in Apache Linux Server by <a href="http://www.webune.com">Webune</a></h2>    
   <p><a href="/rewrite.php?link=1">LINK1</a> = rewrite.php?link=1</p>
   <p><a href="/link2.html">LINK2</a> = link2.html</p>
   <p>How this works: both links are for this same page, except they both are different. link one is without the mod_rewrite and link2 is using mod_rewrite. Link1 show the php file, with with mod_rewrite we are mascarading the php file into a html file. you can use whatever type of extension you want, you can change it to .htm or .shtml etc... all you have to do is to make sure you also chang it in the .htaccess file</p>

3. Create a .htaccess file with the following code

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule ^link([^/]*).html$ rewrite.php?link=$1 [L]

4. Upload both files to your www root
5. Execute rewrite.php

Windows  has a whole array of helpful command line tools for configuring and testing Internet and LAN connections. The following is a list of useful network commands that can be used from the command prompt. A lot of these commands are intended for administrating a network, but they are great for savvy home users as well. All of the tools are run by opening a Command window and entering the appropriate command. Go to Start-Run and enter “cmd” to open a Command window.

• net – Used to start, stop and view networking operations.
• ipconfig – Displays the IP Address and other TCP/IP information on your system.
• netstat – Returns protocol statistics and current TCP/IP connections.
• hostname – Displays the Microsoft networking computer name.
• lpq – Displays the print queue status of an LPD printer.
• ping – Verify the connectivity or a host across a network.
• nbtstat – Returns protocol statistics and current TCP/IP connections.
• ipxroute – Displays and modifies IPX routing tables.
• route – Manipulates TCP/IP routing information
• tracert – Displays route taken by an ICMP to a remote host.
• finger – Displays information about the user
• arp – Displays or modifies information in the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache
• getmac – Lists the MAC (Media Access Control) Address on the computer network interfaces

Add  /? to the command will provide more information e.g. ipconfig show more information about ipconfig command.

Some Applications:

• Display Connection Configuration: ipconfig /all
• Display DNS Cache Info Configuration: ipconfig /displaydns
• Clear DNS Cache: ipconfig /flushdns
• Release All IP Address Connections: ipconfig /release
• Renew All IP Address Connections: ipconfig /renew
• Re-Register the DNS connections: ipconfig /registerdns
• Change/Modify DHCP Class ID: ipconfig /setclassid
• Network Connections: control netconnections
• Network Setup Wizard: netsetup.cpl
• Test Connectivity: ping www.tomstricks.com
• Trace IP address Route: tracert
• Displays the TCP/IP protocol sessions: netstat
• Display Local Route: route
• Display Resolved MAC Addresses: arp
• Display Name of Computer Currently on: hostname
• Display DHCP Class Information:ipconfig /showclassid

Notes:

• Some command-line tools require the user to have administrator-level privileges on source and/or target computers.
• You must have the TCP/IP network protocol installed to use the TCP/IP utilities.

A HP Laserjet will not work with Windows 7. The followinf solution works well. If you vary the following method it will work for 32 bit if required.

Alright, I found the real fix for this so you can print at normal speed and not get the €œPesonality Not Supported: PCL€ Error [For Advanced Users].

1. First off, go download HP LaserJet 1012 Host Based drivers.

64-bit:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=377934&prodNameId=306510&
swEnvOID=2100&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=lj-67501-1

32-bit:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=306510&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=377934&
swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=2093

2. Extract the driver.
3. Plug in and turn on your printer if you haven€™t already.
4. Go to Start>Devices and Printers, and choose to add a printer
5. Choose to add a local printer
6. Choose Dot-4-usb printing support
7. Click Have Disk on the next window
8. Navigate to where you extracted the drivers, and choose the inf file
9. Choose the HP 1012 HB Driver
10. Follow the prompt till it installs the printer or what not

Now you may notice that it prints slow as heck, well no worries! To fix that do this.

1. Go to Start, right click Computer and choose Manage
2. Go to Device Manager
3. Find 1284.4 dot4usb Printing Support
4. Right click it and choose Update Driver
5. Choose €˜Browse my computer for driver software.
6. Choose USB Virtual Printing Support
7. Follow the prompt, exit out of Device Manager
8. Go to Start>Devices and Printers
9. Right click HP 1012 HB, choose Printer Properties
10. Go to the Port Tab, find Virtual USB Printing Support (Not dot4) and check that.
11. Click Ok.

Alternate Method 1
 

NB:

• 1300 has proper driver for windows vista
• 1300 has same internals as 1015
• 1300 uses 'HP Univeral Printing PCL5/PCL5.1' system 5.0/5.1 - use 5.0 1015 is a pcl 5.0

I am getting the Outlook 2003 "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer" hyperlink problem

GO here: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm and use the HTM/HTML association .zip.

Computer booted up showing the desktop as it is when you first get the computer - all programes show on the start menu, (default profile is being used)

But look in My Documents & there 's nothing in the folder. All email profiles & info that I had on the desktop completely vanished.

Go into safe mode - just the same

If you look in the profile eg C:\User\thedukes0brent\docs  - then all the files are there as expected, If you look on the profile desktop eg C:\User\thedukes0brent\desktop - then all the shortcuts etc are there.

So.......in effect the user account is there, but when you log on to it all settings & documents are not being accessed.

Solution:

In registry - HKLM\software\microsoft\windowsNT\currentversion\profile

• There are two folder enteries with the same id number, one ending in .bak & one without bak. 
• The one without the .bak should have an entry for the profile and is pointing to a  TEMP folder
• Swapping the .bak extension between the two folders, it points the profile back to the correct user folder

when you use certain code in TinyMCE it gets stripped when you save it.

Firstly make sure you have set Joomla's whitelist/blacklist thing properly as descibed in this article.

http://docs.joomla.org/Why_does_some_HTML_get_removed_from_articles_in_version_1.5.8%3F

The easiest way of checking this is to turn off your editor, paste some code in, save the article and see if joomla has stripped the code out.

Now  you need to add some code for your selected HTML Tags in to the Valid Extended Elements field in Tiny Parameters.

Syntax is

tag[element1|element2|etc.],othertag[element1a|element2a|etc.]

Example

{code class="brush: xml"} {/code}

In this case, you can use the star which lets use any element.
object[*],param[*],embed[*]

 You could limit what you authorize and add something like this

object[width|height],param[name|value],embed[src|type|allowscriptaccess|allowfullscreen|width|height]
 

Notes

• This method can be used for any specific tag one needs not to be cleaned.
• Parameter Tiny Clean Up on Save to "Always" as advised in the tooltip!
  If you do, then Tiny extraneous mce_something stuff will remain in code, breaking email cloak. as mentioned on joomla forum

To determine if your server is running PHP via phpSuExec (i.e., CGI) instead of Apache

• upload a phpinfo() file and check the “Server API” near the top of the file.
• If it says “Apache”, PHP is running on Apache;
• if it says “CGI”, PHP is running via phpSuExec.

This is important because it is impossible to manipulate php.ini directives via htaccess while running PHP on phpSuExec.
